Chapter 66: People can do anything when they are pushed to the limit
The people of Xiaoshi Village were happy, but Doctor Xu was unhappy.
He rushed into Director Xu's office with his injured hand, "Sister! Why don't you let me go to the clinic?"
"How many times have I told you? Call me Director here."
She looked outside the office, seeing no one passing by. After closing the door, she looked at the annoying relative impatiently, "Your hand is like this, what else can you do? Why don't you just come back and rest and get paid for nothing?"
"Director, although my hand is injured, I can still assist from the side."
He looked so serious that if an uninformed person came, they might be fooled by him.
But as a relative, after knowing how bad his life was in his hometown, Director Xu couldn't help but feel sad when he saw him like this.
"Your father spent so much money to get you a medical license. You don't really think you can be a doctor, do you?"
"Now that your hand is injured, rest well and stop thinking of anything bad. If you affect my performance, I'll arrest you too."
He wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Director Xu shut him down. "If you keep talking nonsense, go home."
After realizing there was no hope of returning to the clinic, the doctor changed the subject. "Director, I don't think there's anything right about my fall. Someone must be trying to frame me."
"I've walked that road countless times. For such a huge pit to suddenly appear that night, someone must be targeting me. Perhaps they're dissatisfied with your recent behavior, Director."
"If we don't catch the mastermind behind this, maybe you, the director, will be the one to get hurt next time."
Director Xu glanced at him, and since he was relatively quiet, he didn't care too much about the trouble he had caused. He just asked, "Are you sure it wasn't you who caused the trouble?"
"How is that possible? I've always behaved myself. This person must be targeting the people in our fertility office."
"You'd better be like this. I will investigate this matter. You can go back first."
Under the director's gaze, the doctor felt that all his little thoughts had been seen through.
After he left, Director Xu looked at her work schedule and circled Xiaoshi Village as a highlight.
Although the village chief speaks very nicely, the progress of family planning work in their village is the worst.
She had to find a way.
————
Lujiayuan has been locked up for a week.
It’s not that Lu Yanan is unwilling to pay the fine, but she can’t afford the second fine.
When the village chief communicated with her for the last time, her voice was full of fatigue and pain. She was almost driven crazy and even had the idea of giving her child to strangers to raise.
The village chief also thought of many ways, but Director Xu refused to release the person until he saw the money.
When he went to discuss things with the villagers again, after such a long period of time, some people's anger had almost dissipated.
"Village Chief, isn't this his own fault? If he hadn't taken in his sister's child, how could the director have found an excuse to fine him?"
"Exactly. We've all done our best, haven't we? Those with money have chipped in, those without have contributed their labor. How many times have we run back and forth to the fertility office? We can be considered to be very kind and righteous, haven't we?"
Some people, having helped so many times, developed resentment. "He did something wrong, so if he gets caught, he gets caught. How can we fight the director?"
Lu Zhengde saw that most people were dissatisfied. He understood their emotions, but it was obvious that Director Xu had abused his power.
He had inquired with the village heads of other villages and learned that the family planning office only arrested pregnant women who had given birth to more children than allowed, and never arrested relatives who had taken in children.
This is just an excuse Director Xu made up to use his power to make money.
If they backed down on the Lu Family Garden matter this time, it would be easier for her to make money later.
But he also understood the villagers' thoughts. They worked hard in the fields every day and made little money all year round. Apart from considering their own survival, it was difficult for them to have extra sympathy for others.
So when everyone was dissatisfied, he did not continue to force it.
His work to save Lu Jiayuan was not going well, and Liu Hehua's work to persuade the villagers to get IUDs was also not going well.
Everyone was shaken after seeing the people in Xiaoniu Village being arrested for refusing to get an IUD.
As a result, when Wang Fang and the others told them about the doctor taking advantage of the situation, those who had been wavering due to fear became unwilling again.
That day, Liu Hehua came to do work again. The work of the previous young wives was fine, but when it came to Lu Yue, she encountered a tough problem.
She had just sat down and taken a sip of water when Lu Yue spoke first before she could say anything.
"Auntie, don't say anything. I'm a divorced woman, and I only have Lu Xin as my son. It's impossible for me to have another one. Why would I get an IUD? I'm just asking for trouble."
Liu Hehua didn't know where to start. "After all, this is a job from the higher-ups. Whether I should tell them or not, I have to come."
"This IUD surgery can be removed after it's done. It's not permanent."
"Having too many children is indeed bad for women's health. Besides, our village is so poor that we can't support too many children. This is also a good thing for the villagers."
Wang Yue didn't refute what Liu Hehua said. "Aunt, you are right, but what does this have to do with me? I don't plan to have children anymore, so why would I bother putting an iron ring in my body?"
What she said made sense. Liu Hehua actually thought the same. She always felt that putting something in the body for no reason was not a good thing. What she said before was also because the superiors asked her to do her job.
However, she still reminded him, "Although everyone's choice is their own business, Director Xu, who is in charge of us, doesn't seem to like people who disobey her orders."
After watching for so many days, Wang Yue felt that she had not committed any serious crime. She was just delaying the IUD insertion. Could it be possible that Director Xu would arrest her like he did with those who had more children than allowed?
She felt that this shouldn't be a big deal, and with so many people getting IUDs in a county, could it be that Director Xu only cared about Xiaoshi Village?
She doesn't believe it.
But in fact, Director Xu really set his sights on Xiaoshi Village.
She hired someone to paint slogans all over Xiaoshi Village.
[You gave birth to a child illegally, so I will demolish your house according to the law.]
[Whether you should be vaccinated or not, if you see them, you should arrest them.]
[If one person has an extra child, the whole village will be sterilized.]
【Family planning is everyone’s responsibility! 】
It felt like this was a warning to their Xiaoshi Village.
This was not the end yet. Director Xu soon conveyed new instructions through the village chief.
"Not only should fines be imposed on those caught having more children than allowed, but those who have been doing so for many years should also be punished."
In other words, not only those who want to have a second or third child now will be fined, but those who have already had a second or third child will also be fined.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. In the 1970s and 1980s, which family didn't have three or four children?
If this is really done, most of the people in Xiaoshi Village will have to pay a fine.
This time, more people gathered at Lu Zhengde's house. Each family had its own difficulties. Asking them to pay so much money at once would be like asking them to die.
Some people also have other ideas and try to avoid fines in other ways.
So when Lu Xing wanted to open the door to pour out the dirty water late at night, he found Erniu's mother kneeling at the door with Erniu, wanting to adopt him under Lu Xing's name so that it would not be considered an extra birth.
When people are forced into desperate situations, they can really come up with all kinds of ideas.
Even the dead are not spared.
For example, Lu Xing’s brothers and sisters who died early.
【Author has something to say】
Good evening!
Thank you to the little angels for feeding us the nutrient solution! Thank you for your support!

There are some things that are not written out [Should it flow or not, the cow will be pulled out of the house]
[To draw it down, to flow it down, is to not give birth to it]
